The Canadian Gov<rnmenf, it seems,
has sent proposition to the British Gov
ernment. which, il approved by that Gov
ernment and the Government of the United
States, would refer all the matters in dis
pute about the fishery question to Com
mission, whose decision, under existing
treaties and laws, would be final and
binding upon al parties to the dispute.
The Commission proposed to he crested
is to consist Of one delegate from Canada,
one fro.n Newfoundland with the consent
of the British Government, two from the
United States, and one from some inde-
pendent European power. Perhaps the
recent action Of Congress in the passage
of the Reta iation bill, and the powers
given to tie President, to he exercised in
his discretion, have had the good effect
of sharpening up the wits Of our Canadian
neighbors, and suggesting to them that
the Government of the United States will
not submit to any outrages upon the
rights of its fishermen in British North
American waters or ports. BE this as it
may, the people of this country should be
willing, and, as We presume, are willing
to refer the whole dispute to any fairly
constituted Commission. This must be
done, or the two Governments must under
take to adjust the matter by new treaty,
or the questions at issue must be left to
drift along amid increasing difficulties
and complications, which might at last
lead to open hostilities. We see no OBJ
jection to the proposition tor settlement
through the agency of a Commission.

Byrne, judges and clerks of election at the
seventeenth precinct of the first ward Of
Baltimore city, were, on Tuesday, found
guilty by jury in the criminal court of
that city of conspiracy to defraud at the
municipal election held October ~, 1885.
1t was shown during the trial, which last
I'd several days, that the votes of % per-
Sons who did not 60 to the election at all
were recorded. There was also evidence
of tampering with the returns and the
guilt of the parties was made clear. In
bis able argument for the prosecution, As.
sistant States Attorney Cans impressed
upon the jury the duty incumbent upon
them Of placing the seal OF condemnation
upon such frauds. He truthfully said sit
cannot be cured bypresching and writing
letters to newspapers"
This is the proper course for the friends
of pure elections in Baltimore city to pur.
sue. The laws are competent TO punish
such evil doing, and if the reform leagues
will cease hiring halls in which to make
ha:angues and scandalize their city and
devote their energies as they did in this
case to working up certain and reliable
legal evidence upon which to base convic-
tions in the criminal courts they will soon
make an end Of the election frauds about
which they complain 70 much.

Senator Vance has form ated the fol-
lowing axioms upon the question of taxa
tion which are quite seli-evident and
which in a few words cempreheuds the
whole scope of the tariff question. They
are as follows:
"First. Money levied upon a people
for the support of government, is taxation.
Second. Money levied upon u people
for the support of government IN proper
tion to the ability of each citizen to pay.
is just taxation.
Third. Money levied upon a people
for th, support of government in proper
tion to the ability of each citizen to pay,
in such manner as to put most money
into the treasury with least direct and in
direct waste, is both just and wise taxa
tion.
Fourth. Money levied upon people
not for the support of government. but
for the benefit of particular class. at the
expense of another, is not taxation, but
robbery.

The municipal election in Chicago, on

The municipal election in Chicago, on
Tuesday resulted in the election of Roche,
republican, for mayor over Nilsson, the
so-called "labor" candidate by about
10000 majority. Nilsson had the large
socialist and anarchist element of Chicago
behind him and this, combined with the
united labor organizations, threatened
the election of Nilsson, and with it tie
subversion of law and order The Re-
publicans were early in putting a full
ticket in the field and they did not seem
disposed to retire their ticket and make
common cause with the Democrats against
the lawless element. In this state of af-
fairs Carter Harrison declined to run as
the Democratic candidate for mayor, per-
ceiving that such course would surely
result in the election of the socialist can
didate. And so the Democratic party, by
his advice and counsel, patriotlcally re-
Trained from putting ticket in the fed
and made common cause with the Repub-
licans, voting solidly for Roche. The re-
suit is the delivery of the city from aEar-
chy for which the Democrats alone de-
serve the credit.

In Line.

We are glad to learn from the last Issue
of our esteemed contemporary, the Laurel
Free Quill that it is quite ia line with the
TINES and all friends of good roads in
Maryland in advocacy of general public
road system for the whole State, based on
the Western plan as formerly exemplifed
in the Page system for this county. We
thank our contemporary for the manner
in which it is pleased to refer to the TIMES,
for it is gratifying to receive compliments
from such competent and discriminating
source. The readily and courteous man
ner in which our neighbor abandons the
remedy proposed by itself for the evil of
bad roads, when convinced that another
is more feasible, affofds the highest guar
antee that it aims solely for the promotion
of the public good in its agitation OF this
question. Many of the county papers are
dwelling much of late upon the defective
ness of the local road system, and we are
induced to hope that the proposition for
the State government to take hold of the
question as is done in the West will meet
much favor in the constitution convention.
The Free Quill, after reprinting the
TIMEs's last article in full, speaks editor
ialy as follows:
We confess that good point has been
made for the TIMEs's side of the case by
the presentation of what is known as the
Page system As will be seen from the
reprinted article of the TIMES, the Page
system had not obtained in Prince Georges
county, and even in Charles it was short
lived owing to the hasty repeal at a nnapo-
lis. Had we known more of This western
idea as applied for awhile in Maryland. we
would have hesitated in selecting New
York as q model. Indeed, it was only
after q promise on the part of western
citizen of prominence, that be would furn-
ish synopsis of the political divisions of
his wes ern home, which he was prevented
from filling by business engagements. that

tenn to illustrate The newly carved
western states are much better established
on minor municipal and political lines
than the older, for they proited by the
discovered errors in their former homes.
At any rate. the courteous and equitable
manner in which the Port Tobacco TINEs
treats the question is not only patriotic,
but decidedly ingrained with an anselfish
desire to do the best for our own people
that can lie done with our present condi-
tions, and herein, we fall in line and join.
The conc uding remarks as to the unique
position Laurel occupies as to Marlboro,
might mislead stranger, though on the
whole, We think the case was bluntly and
squarely stated. 1t is Mantua first and
Rome second, with US. for il has become

The Supreme Court of Illinois recently
heard the argument, on both sides, relat-
ing to the Chicago Anarchists, who, sc cme
months since, were tried and found guilty
OF murder in the first degreeand sentenced
to be hanged. The question of deep in
terest, alike to these condemned convicts
and tn people of Illinois and the country
generally, is whether the judgment of the
trial court shall be affirmed, or reversed,
and new trial be ordered. The impress
sion among the lawyers of Illinois is that
the Supreme Court will sustain the judg-
ment of the court below, and fix new
day for the execution of these men. They
were indicted as conspIrators with the
man who threw the dynamite bomb, at
the Haymarket massacre, by the explosion
OF which one of the officers of law, who
was there in the discharge of his lsgal du-
ties, lost bis life, while other persons were
severely injured. The point to be deter
mined in respect to them, is whether they
held such relations to that fatal BON j.
throwing as to make them crimizally re-
sponsible for the result that ensued. The
jury that heard the evidence, and applied
it under the ruling of the court, answered
this question in the affirmative. Public
sentiment, with scarcely dissenting voice
except among Anarchists, at the time ap-
proved of the finding of the jury The
evidence adduced on the trial showed
that, under the rule of the common law
in regard to conspiracy, these men were
conspirators in procuring the death OF the
officer who had been killed by the bomb
throwing. Though they did not them
selves throw the bomb, they had melted
the doing of the act, and hence were
equally guilty with the man who actually
threw the bomb. We do not we'll see, in
the light of the facts as shown upon their
trial, how the Supreme Court can reverse
the judgment and order new trial.
